Original Owner
I purchased my 1969 Corvette convertible new in the summer of 1969. The MSRP was $6,009.90 I still have the original invoice. It is now 100% restored and sitting in my garage. Any other original owners of C-3's out there?

Out of curiosity, why does the last picture show the Vette sitting higher? The stance looks much lower in the older pictures. I am just curious....

Go to photobucket.com and open a free account.
After your done, browse for the pics on your PC, pick & download the files. Once downloaded click on and copy the IMG code, mine does this automatically when I move the cursor over the code list below each image, and paste the code in your thread or post. You’re done.

I love hearing from guys (and girls) who have kept their brand new C3 and still drive them today. I was a little boy in 1969 and wanted one when I was going to be a grown-up. Took me a few years longer but here I am. Still no comparing to someone who bought it with 0 miles in a dealership way back when.
Thanks for sharing.
